Description
The “Rear to Front” monument in Magnitogorsk is an important symbol of the memory and heroism of home front workers during the Great Patriotic War. The authors of the monument, sculptor Lev Nikolaevich Golovnitsky and architect Yakov Borisovich Belopolsky, created a unique ensemble, which became the first large monumental complex dedicated to the labor feat of the home front in the USSR.
The monument was opened on June 28-29, 1979 in Victory Park on the right bank of the Ural River. It consists of two figures - a worker and a warrior, standing against the background of the Magnitogorsk Iron and Steel Works. The worker is oriented to the east, towards the plant, and the warrior is oriented to the west, towards the enemy during the war.
In addition, the composition includes a stone flower made of Karelian granite with an eternal flame. The monument is installed on an artificial hill framed by reinforced concrete piles, which gives it an impressive appearance and symbolizes pride in labor achievements.
The opening of the monument was a significant event for the city. It took place on the 50th anniversary of Magnitogorsk and was timed to coincide with the celebration of Victory Day. In 2020 and 2023, state historical and cultural examinations were carried out to assign the monument the status of “cultural heritage site of federal significance”, as well as its official renaming to “Rear to Front”.
This monument has become an important symbol for Magnitogorsk and all of Russia, perpetuating the labor feat of the Soviet people during the war and recalling the importance of peace and the memory of military and civil exploits.
